Postdoctoral Fellow: Mechanisms of Transcriptional Repression by Sequence Specific Transcription Factors

An NSF-funded postdoctoral position (39 months) is available in the Department of Biology at James Madison University (JMU), with a flexible start date of May 1, 2021. The LONG-TERM RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: understanding the molecular mechanisms by which HES proteins mediate transcriptional repression during embryogenesis and to test predictions of HES mediated repression genome-wide and across developmental stages, using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system.

Hellman Science and Technology Policy Fellowship

Hellman Fellows work with senior scientists and policy experts on critical national and international policy issues related to science, engineering, and technology. Hellman Fellows contribute to new and ongoing projects under the Academy’s Initiative for Science, Engineering, and Technology. The studies explore how science and technology are evolving, how to help the public understand those changes, and how society can better adapt to those changes.

Assistant Professor in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry

The Department of Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry (mbb.yale.edu) at Yale University invites applications for tenure-track Assistant Professor positions. We seek new colleagues who will direct vibrant research programs in any area of molecular biosciences and who have an established interest in promoting equity and inclusion among diverse scientists at any level. We welcome applicants who use any approach to advance understanding of the molecular basis of life.

Postdoctoral Scholar Training for Academic Careers in Biomedical Research

We would like to tell you about an exciting postdoctoral training program at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts. This program, called Tufts IRACDA (Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards Program), is funded by the IRACDA mechanism of NIH-NIGMS. Tufts IRACDA is designed to prepare postdoctoral trainees for the multiple demands of an academic career in biomedical research.
